Re: problems with honeyd 0.8b and ethernet emulation

[VHP3 <vhp3 () cox net>]

I've had the same kind of problems.  First, if you could, please post 
your entire honeyd config file for reference and the output "ifconfig 
-a".  But until then, check that
a) the MAC address listed in the config file is idential to the MAC 
listed on ifconfig and
b) your binding the 'testrouter' to the IP in the config file
c) to pass the IP address as an argument on the CLI (or script if that's 
how your starting the honeyd daemon)

Vince
